Trump Nominates Florida Lawyer Who Graduated College in 2009 to Lifetime Judicial Appointment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump on Wednesday nominated five more candidates to the
federal bench, including Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Florida lawyer and
former federal prosecutor who previously clerked for Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas. Here's how Mizelle described Justice Thomas at
a January event held by the archconservative Federalist Society.

Kathryn Kimball Mizelle: "I have to describe what it's like to clerk for
the greatest living American, and I mean that with all sincerity."

If confirmed by the Senate, Mizelle would serve a lifetime appointment
on a U.S. district court in Florida. She graduated college in 2009 and
is believed to be in her early thirties.
